  • Parhelia on Linux?

    I really need help enabling triple-head on Linux. I have one HD running XP Pro with Parhelia running fine and now I've installed JAMD Linux on my second HD (it's based on Red Hat). I am extreemly new to Linux and no matter how many times I read the installation file for the Linux drivers, I can't get the damn thing to work in triple head! I know it's my lack of experience that's the problem and not the card or my rig. So if anyone who has Linux experience can walk me through the installation of the drivers and the triple-head setup I would be very grateful. As I said, I'm really new to the Linux world and I need it explained to me in detail. From where to put the driver files to how to edit the XF86 file for triple-head.
    I Hate Being A Newbie Again!
    Thanks
